THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 5
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him, lest that adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the minister, and then thou be cast into prison. Verily I say unto thee: thou shalt not come out thence, till thou have paid the utmost *farthing.
Ye have heard how it was said to them of old time: Thou shalt not commit *advoutry. But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a wife, lusting after her, hath committed advoutry with her already in his heart.
Wherefore if thy right eye offend thee, pluck him out, and cast him from thee. Better it is for thee that one of thy members perish, than that thy whole body should be cast into hell. Also if thy right hand offend thee, cut him off and cast him from thee. Better it is that one of thy members perish, than that all thy body should be cast into hell.
It is said, whosoever put away his wife, let him give her a testimonial also of the divorcement. But I say unto you: whosoever put away his wife, (except it be for fornication) causeth her to break matrimony. And whosoever marrieth her that is divorced, breaketh wedlock.
Again ye have heard how it was said to them of old time, thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform thine oath to God. But I say unto you, swear not at all: neither by heaven, for it is Gods seat: nor yet by the earth, for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem, for it is the city of that great king: neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one white hair, or black: But your communication shall be, ye, ye: nay, nay. For whatsoever is more than that, cometh of evil.
Ye have heard how it is said, an eye for an eye: a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you, that ye resist not wrong. But whosoever give thee a blow on thy right cheek, turn to him the other. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever will compel thee to go a mile, go with him *twain. Give to him that asketh, and from him that would borrow turn not away.
Ye have heard how it is said: thou shalt love thine neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, love your enemies. Bless them that curse you. Do good to them that hate you. Pray for them which do you wrong and persecute you, that ye may be the children of your father that is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to arise on the evil, and on the good, and sendeth his rain on the just and unjust. For if ye love them, which love you: what reward shall ye have? Do not the *Publicans even so? And if ye be friendly to your brethren only: what singular thing do ye? Do not the Publicans likewise? Ye shall therefore be perfect, even as your father which is in heaven, is perfect.*ought (anything) *advoutry: prefix "a" meaning not or without, devout: devotion; plain hearted to God, being devoted to something or some one else. see James 2 for adultery. *Raca: worthless: greatest contempt from the Hebrew *farthing 1/4 penny from the English. *twain (two). *Publicans: ones who worked for the Romans; collector of taxes or tribute from the public.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 11
And it came to pass when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, that he departed thence, to teach and to preach in their cities.
When John being in prison heard the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples and said unto him. Art thou he that shall come: or shall we look for another? Jesus answered and said unto them. Go and show John what ye have heard and seen. The blind see, the halt go, the lepers are cleansed: the deaf hear, the dead rise again, and the glad tidings is preached to the poor. And happy is he that is not offended by me.THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 13
Then sent Jesus the people away, and came home. And his disciples came unto him, saying: declare unto us the similitude of the tares in the field. Then answered he and said to them. He that soweth the good seed, is the son of man. And the field is the world. And the children of the kingdom, they are the good seed. And the tares are the children of the wicked. And the enemy that soweth them, is the devil. The harvest is the end of the world. And the reapers be the Angels. For even as the tares are gathered and burnt in the fire: so shall it be in the end of this world. The son of man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity, and shall cast them into a furnace of fire. There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the just men shine as bright as the *son in the kingdom of their father. Whosoever hath ears to hear, let him hear.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 26
And when they had said grace, they went out into mount olivet. Then said Jesus unto them: all ye shall be offended by me this night. For it is written: I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galile. Peter answered, unto him: though all men should be offended by thee, yet would I never be offended. Jesus said unto him: Verily I say unto thee, that this same night before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me *thrice. Peter said unto him. If I should die with thee, yet would I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Then went Jesus with them into a place which is called Gethsemane, and said unto the disciples, sit ye here while I go and pray yonder. And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebede, and began to wax sorrowful and to be in agony. Then said Jesus unto them: my soul is heavy even unto the death. Tarry here: and watch with me. And he went a little apart, and fell flat on his face, and prayed saying: O' my father, if it possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt. And he came unto the disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter: what, could ye not watch one hour: Watch: and pray that ye fall not into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
He went away once more, and prayed, saying: O' my father, if this cup cannot pass away from me, but that I drink of it, thy will be fulfilled. And he came, and found them asleep again. For their eyes were heavy. And he left and went again, and prayed the third time saying the same words. Then came he to his disciples and said unto them: Sleep henceforth and take your rest. Take heed the hour is at hand, and the son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that shall betray me. While he yet spake: lo, Judas one of the twelve came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people. And he that betrayed him, had given them a token, saying: whosoever I kiss, the same is he, lay hands on him. And forth with all he came to Jesus, and said, hail Master: and kissed him. And Jesus said unto him: friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
And behold, one of them which were with Jesus, stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and smote off his ear. Then said Jesus unto him: put up thy sword into his sheath.
For all that lay hand on the sword, shall perish with the sword. Either thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my father, and he shall give me more than twelve Legions of angels? But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled: For so must it be. The same time said Jesus to the multitude: ye be come out as it were unto a thief, with swords and staves for to take me. I sat daily teaching in the temple among you, and ye took me not. All this was done that the scriptures of the Prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him and fled. And they took Jesus and led him to Caiphas the high Priest, where the Scribes and the elders where assembled. And Peter followed him afar off, unto the high priests place: and went in, and sat with the servants to see the end.
The chief Priests and the elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, for to put him to death, but found none: in so much that when many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, and said: This fellow said: I can destroy the temple of God, and build it again in three days. And the chief Priest arose, and said to him: answerest thou nothing? How is it that these bear witness against thee? But Jesus held his peace. And the chief priest answered, and said to him: I charge thee in the name of the living God, that thou tell us, whether thou be Christ the son of God. Jesus said to him: thou hast said. Nevertheless I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and come in the clouds of the sky.
Then the high priest rent his clothes saying: He hath blasphemed: what need we of any more witnesses? Behold now ye have heard his blasphemy: what think ye? They answered and said: he is worthy to die. Then spat they in his face, and buffeted him with fists. And other smote him with the palm of their hands on the face, saying: tell us thou Christ, who is he that smote thee?
Peter sat without in the palace. And a damsel came to him saying: Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee: but he denied before them all saying: I *wot not what thou sayest. When he was gone out into the porch, another wench saw him, and said unto them that were there: This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. And again he denied with an oath that he knew the man. And after a while came unto him they that stood by and said unto Peter surely thou art even one of them, for thy speech betrayeth thee. Then began he to curse and to swear, that he knew not the man. And immediately the cock crew. And Peter remembered the words of Jesus which said unto him: before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me *thrice: and went out at the doors and wept bitterly*remission: the act of forgiving,/ giving up a possession, claim or right.

And he departed thence, and came into his own country, and his disciples followed him. And when the Saboth day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue. And many that heard him were astonished, and said: From whence hath he these things? and what wisdom is this that is given unto him: and such virtues that are wrought by his hands? Is not this that carpenter Marys son, the brother of James and Joses and of Juda and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended by him. And Jesus said unto them: a Prophet is not despised but in his own country, and among his own kin, and among them that are of the same household. And he could there show no miracles, but laid his hands upon a few sick folk and healed them and he marvelled at their unbelief.
And he went about by the towns that lay on every side, teaching. And he called the twelve, and began to send them two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. And commanded them, that they should take nothing unto their journey, save a rod only, neither scrip, neither bread, neither money in their purses, but should be shod with sandals. And that they should not put on two coats. And he said unto them: wheresoever ye enter in to an house, there abide till ye depart thence. And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a witness unto them. I say verily unto you, it shall be easier for Sodom and Gomor at the day of judgement, than for that city. And they went out and preached, that they should repent: and they cast out many devils. And they anointed many that were sick with oil, and healed them.THE GOSPELL OF ST. LUKE Chpt 17
Then said he to the disciples, it cannot be avoided but that offenses will come. Nevertheless woe be to him through whom they come. It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were cast into the sea, then that he should offend one of these little ones. Take heed to your selves. If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him and if he repent, forgive him. And though he sin against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee saying: it repenteth me, forgive him.
And the Apostles said unto the Lord: increase our faith. And the Lord said: if ye had faith like a grain of mustard seed, and should say unto this sycamine tree, pluck thyself up by the roots, and plant thyself in the sea: he should obey you.THE GOSPELL OF ST. JOHN Chpt 16
These things have I said unto you, because ye should not be offended. They shall excommunicate you: ye the time shall come that whosoever killeth you, will think that he doth God service. And such things will they do unto you, because they have not known the father neither yet me. But these things have I told you, that when that hour is come, ye might remember then, that I told you so. These things said I not unto you at the beginning because I was present with you.
But now I go my way to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: whither goest thou? But because I have said such things unto you, your hearts are full of sorrow. Nevertheless I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away. For if I go not away, that comforter will not come unto you. But if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will rebuke the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement. Of sin, because they believe not on me: of righteousness, because I go to my father, and ye shall see me no more: and of judgement, because the chief ruler of this world, is judged all ready.THE FIRST EPISTLE OF ST. PETER Chpt 2
Wherefore lay aside all *maliciousness and all *guile, and dissimulation, and envy, and all backbiting: and as new born babes, desire that reasonable milk, which is without corruption, that ye may be grown therin. If so be that ye have tasted how pleasant the Lord is, to whom ye come as unto a living stone disallowed of men, but chosen of God and precious: and ye as living stones, are made a spiritual house, and an holy priesthood for to offer up spiritual sacrifice, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Wherefore it is contained in the scripture: behold I put in Sion an head corner stone, elect and precious: and he that believeth on him, shall not be ashamed. Unto you therefore which believe, he is precious: but unto them which believe not, the stone which the builders refused, the same is made the head stone in the corner, and a stone to stumble at, and a rock to offend them which stumble at the word, and believe not that whereon they were set. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, and a peculiar people, that ye should show the vertues of him that called you out of darkness into his marvelous light, which in time past were not a people, yet are now the people of God: which were not under mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which fight against the soul, and see that ye have honest conversation among the Gentiles, that they which backbite you as evil doers, may see your good works and praise God in the day of visitation.
Submit yourselves unto all manner ordinance of man for the Lords sake, whether it be unto the King as unto the chief head: *other unto rulers, as unto them that are sent of him, for the punishment of evil doers: but for the *laud of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that ye put to silence the ignorance of the foolish men: as free, and not as having the liberty for a cloak of maliciousness, but even as the servants of God. Honour all men. Love brotherly fellowship. Fear God and honour the king.
Servants obey your masters with all fear, not only if they be good and courteous: but also though they be *froward. For it is thankworthy if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what praise is it, if when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye take it patiently? But and if when ye do well, ye suffer wrong and take it patiently, then is there thank with God.
For hereunto verily were ye called: for Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example that ye should follow his steps, which did no sin, neither was there guile found in his mouth: which when he was reviled, reviled not again: when he suffered, he threatened not: but committed the cause to him that judgeth righteously, which his own self bare our sins in his body on the tree, that we should be delivered from sin and should live in righteousness. By whose stripes ye were healed. For ye were as sheep going astray: but are now returned unto the shepherd and bishop of your souls*maliciousness (unkindness against another) *guile(deception), *other (or)

Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things? And now ye know what withholdeth: even that he might be uttered at his time. For the mystery of that iniquity doth he already work: till he which now only letteth, be taken out of the way. And then shall that wicked be uttered, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the appearance of his coming even him whose coming is by the working of Satan, with all lying power, signs and wonders: and in all deceivableness of unrighteousness, among them that perish: because they received not the love of the truth, that they might have been saved. And therefore God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe lies: that all they might be damned which believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
THE GOSPELL OF ST. MATTHEW Chpt 10
Whosoever therefore shall knowledge me before men, him will I knowledge also before my father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my father which is in heaven.
Think not, that I am come to send peace into the earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law: And a mans foes shall be they of his own household.
He that loveth his father, or mother more than me, is not meet for me. And he that loveth his son, or daughter more than me, is not meet for me. And he that taketh not his cross and followeth me, is not meet for me. He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it.
He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. He that receiveth a Prophet in the name of a Prophet, shall receive a Prophets reward. And he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive the reward of a righteous man. And whosoever shall give unto one of these little ones to drink, a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple: I tell you of a truth, he shall not lose his reward
